WEBVTT - Remembering George Floyd 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:02.800 All right, glad you're with us. Thank you, Scott Shannon 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.120 toll Free. It's eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean. 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.520 You want to be a part of this extravagance, and 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:12.039 you cannot believe the mishmash that is Joe Biden day. 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.560 What's seventy five now of him hiding in his basement 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:21.040 with only a ten minute reprieve and another disastrous Yeah, 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.360 I mean, what do you want to call it a performance? Obviously, 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.600 no fastball, no curveball, nothing. We'll get to that. In 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:30.000 the course of the show. We got a lot of 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.320 updates with a deep State today news we made nobody 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:41.000 paid attention to. Apparently unmasking at a spectacular level now 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:45.000 has become part of John Dorham's investigation. They have also 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:49.839 appointed another federal prosecutor. The DJ's also going to be 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.479 weighing in with this three judge panel as it relates 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:58.320 to Judge Emmett Sullivan's you know, unbelievable in my view, 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:02.480 misconduct in the particular case by not dropping the case 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.039 and then literally inviting every group in the world that 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.560 has a political agenda to weigh into this. We'll hit 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.920 that today as well. There are a lot of things 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.080 angry me today. One the most the more I see 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:21.840 this interview, this video rather of what happened in Minneapolis 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:28.120 with George Floyd, I get I am. Now I'm almost 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:33.160 borderline apoplectic about it. I just if it infuriates me 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.440 for a lot of different reasons. Now, I'm going to 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.880 be consistent because I always am, and that is okay. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.959 We don't rush to judgment. We believe in due process, process, 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.960 we believe in the presumption of innocence. But with that said, 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:58.400 our eyes show us so much wrong here. It makes 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:04.680 my blood boy. Number one, we saw no evidence whatsoever 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:09.480 of George Floyd resisting in any way, and let me 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.480 lay as a foundation. We're talking about the crime they're 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.560 looking into. Here's about a possible counterfeit twenty dollar bill. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.720 That just some context to this here. Now, do I 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.720 think crimes should be punished, Yes, arrest made, Yes, phone 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:29.360 calls made of the cops, Okay. Dan Bongino said it 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:34.160 best on TV last night. Once you have somebody that 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:40.160 is not resisting in handcuffs, it's over. The fight is over. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.160 That's number one. I have spoken a lot about my 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.160 seven years now in a row training mixed martial arts. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.560 It's an eclectic blend of arts. It is crab magaw keempo, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:59.400 Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing, situational street fighting. We do blade sticks, firearms, 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.679 a lot of training, a lot of training, a lot 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.519 of what happens, if this happens, if that happens. And 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.560 you know, I don't really I'm not into like posting 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.880 everything that I do on social media because I don't 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.320 think people give a rip anyway, and I think a 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.359 lot of it is based in vanity. But I do 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.079 it for two reasons. Number one, it is a hard 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.880 work out, great workout. I like to be able to 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:23.320 defend myself and having an alternative when you train. And 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.760 as I have gotten deeper and deeper into the arts, 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.360 it didn't take long to figure out there are certain 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.399 very specific strike areas. If your life is being threatened, 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:39.880 the most vulnerable part of a human being is their neck. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.400 It's just a fact. It's well known. And so we 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:50.160 don't see George Floyd resisting arrest. Then we are watching 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:55.480 as the minutes tick by the police officer in this case, 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.200 and again I don't even see that anybody. I've not 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:03.200 hurting anybody, say anything contrary even my all my law 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:08.240 enforcement friends, Bernie Kerrig last night, Dan Mongino last night, 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.520 so many others contacting me, they cannot believe what they 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:17.320 witnessed here. Because what you have is the officer taking 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.360 his knee and if you watch, as we pointed out 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.200 last night, the right foot of the officer, all the 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.279 weight is on that left knee right into the neck 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.640 of mister Floyd, which is and his head into the pavement. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.760 Now it went on. We never got the exact time 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.839 and somewhere, but it went on at least six minutes, 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.200 maybe as high as hey. I keep reading conflicting reports. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:47.520 We weren't even able to totally confirm that. And his 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.920 arms are behind his back, and he keeps saying over 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.280 and over again as that there's a huge amount of 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.600 pressure on this man's neck. When he was saying he 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.400 can't breathe, he couldn't breathe. And I can tell you 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.719 I actually trained this morning, and I had long discussions 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.160 with my sense a sense A Glenn, he's been on 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.320 the program before, a great guy. And you know there 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:20.480 are targeted strikes. For example, if somebody has any knowledge 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.320 of martial arts, a lot of you know, how you 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.880 defend yourself, I'll walk away. You can call me any 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.680 name in the book. I'm gonna walk away. I'm gonna 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.240 walk away backwards, looking at you until and diffuse any 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.360 situation because I don't want to use what I've learned 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:41.200 because it's that dangerous and you have to be you 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.560 have to be careful. But if you take one strike, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.640 targeted strike to the karated and you can go online 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:52.480 and google it, there's videos out there this happening. If 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.200 you do it, then you'll see a person literally, if 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.920 it's a good strike, they're gonna drop to their knees. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.919 They're gonna drop right down. I was watching one of 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.159 the videos this morning. Not only did the guy it 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.400 was a really well trained artist. The strike was perfect, 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.080 it was one strike, fight was over. The guy literally 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:16.599 nailed as carotid. The guy went down. When the guy 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.760 got up to try and start walking again, it fell 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.240 down again, then fell down a third time. Because what 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.679 it does is for that brief second, of that brief 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.120 second now of that strike, it cuts off all the 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:33.640 blood circulation going to one's brain. There are trait holds 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:37.440 that are banned by pretty much every police department. You have, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.200 choke holds that are banned now by most police departments 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:45.800 because they recognize the severity of that kind of treatment. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:53.880 It is such a it is such an egregious error 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.880 in judgment at it's flabbergasting to me. Is it was 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.560 full on to me. And again, my eyes aren't deceiving me. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.160 This is a human being. He's down there, so I 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.280 can't breathe. If you know anything, I can't believe that 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.880 this officer did not understand the severity of this, because 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.280 it was full on, hardcore pressure and literally pinning this 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:24.560 guy's head to the pavement. In all honesty. If you, 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.080 for example, if I did, say an arm drag into 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:32.280 a choke hold, and I got my arm in solid 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:36.320 around your neck, and I applied pressure as I've been 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.280 trained to do, and that pressure would go on corrodotateries 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.840 on both sides, you would pass out in fifteen seconds. 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.320 Now I did it today with my sense. I've been 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:52.000 feeling good all day. As a result, I said, all right, 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.960 put me in a holt. I think I made nine 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.680 seconds and I tapped out because I was going to 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:03.480 pass out nine seconds, fifteen seconds, maybe twenty. If you 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:08.120 really have a tight hold, it's you're done and in 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.040 that sense, and then I'm watching this, what the hell 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.160 are they doing? And the other cops are there, and 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.240 this is inexplicable to me. They're just standing there and 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:25.680 this goes on and on and on and for six 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.760 solid minutes. The guy's bet he's not resisted begging to 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:35.760 get up. When you have an apprehension, Dan Bongino's right, 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.840 guy's not resisting. Got him, coff, You put him in 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.440 the back of the car. You know, you sort it 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.000 out at the station in the terms of Okay, you're 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.960 being charged with this, it's probably going to get a 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:50.640 citation and walk out. I mean, it's unbelievable to me, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.680 and it's very frustrating. From the standpoint is it's sort 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.160 of like, you know, the shock of when Joe Degenivas 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:03.559 said on TV night, you know about came and others, 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.320 they're dirty cops. I flinched because my mom was a 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.800 prison guard. My my mom, you know, she's kind of 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:16.400 a you know, a short woman, you know, elderly. You know, 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.160 she's in a prison all day and so at times 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.959 you have to deal with prisoners, but they have very 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:27.960 specific techniques. You've got to protect people as well. And 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.439 in this case, this is a there was never one 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:36.600 second of need for this six minutes. It then becomes 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:41.240 I there's no surprise if you understand anything about the 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.160 sensitivity of the neck, why this guy died and if 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.800 that cop maybe somehow lost perspective in the moment, somebody 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.640 else should have stepped in and said get him in 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.920 the car, now, get your foot off his neck. He's 0:09:56.000 --> 0:10:01.520 not doing anything. And it frustrates me because then the 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.200 you know, then we have the the predictable. All cops 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.520 are bad. They're not bad people, the ninety nine percent 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:12.640 of them, but there's one percent that would use force 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.600 such as this. They give every cop a bad name. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.880 And we have to be careful that we we don't 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.360 rush to judgment and think all cops are this way 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.920 most cops. You know, Look, being a CoP's not an 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.199 easy job. There's never gonna be in a rest usually 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.200 where a cop is using any type of force and 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.360 putting you in handcuffs, and if somebody's resisting, it's gonna 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.360 look that much worse. But cops don't know when they 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.960 pull people over if they have a gun. Cops don't 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.160 know if you have drugs in the car, you know 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.760 it's you don't know. At any given moment, you really 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:51.480 really really need to be in charge and safe and 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.520 you have to balance all of this and if once, 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.200 but but the rule is the rule. Once a person 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:04.800 is in your control and not resisting, it's over. And 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.679 the fact that this was allowed to go on, and 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.880 the fact that it happened in the first place, there 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.359 is I see no rationale whatsoever that I can manufacture 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.360 as somebody that always wants to give people the benefit 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.160 of the doubt because sometimes as circumstances you don't know. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.600 I don't believe in trial by videotape. I believe these 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.440 guys have a right to a fair trial. The tape, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.040 to me, though, is devastating, and I watch it and 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:38.640 I get angrier every time I do. Because listen, if 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.720 if you, for exact, if you do a poke of 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.760 somebody's track, if you, if you're trained, you take you 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.720 know where your trake is, you feel just below your 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.480 Adams apple, There's like this little space there you go 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.640 in you hit that, just poke at it and you 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.200 target it and you hit it. They're gonna go down. 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.480 If you put your somebody in a choke hold, a 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:02.880 trake hold, the odds of death are high. You know 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:07.280 you're going to hurt that person. There might be situations 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.079 people need to use that, but that's not your first option. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.120 That's one of your last options. And you know, Sean, 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.160 it's something that we were talking about a little bit before, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.640 which is that, you know, the whole situation here, everyone 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.840 who's seen the tape is just as outraged. You know, 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.800 this should be a memory of being of solidarity of 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.679 everybody's saying this was wrong. But this is not every cop. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.520 And we need to focus on the fact that this 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.360 guy was turning his life around and it was taken 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.760 role apparently becoming a very very Christian man turning his 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.920 life around. But others are using it for divisiveness, and 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.920 that's not Okay, that's not what this is about. Was 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.760 a component to this, You're right, I mean, you know 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.360 what did we watch too? We watched okay, a target 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:51.200 store looted, a liquor store looted, fires auto zone. The 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:55.440 police chief erranando, you know, saying they didn't have a 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.840 police presence because they didn't they didn't feel that they 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.680 could handle it. Well, we gotta get them to help 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.760 to handle it. Al Sharpton is now headed there. It 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:09.520 is so sad to me that life is precious. You know, 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.680 the President when he says we're one glorious nation under God, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:18.360 where one united American family, He's right, we are. And 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.040 as a Christian, and I don't talk a lot about 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.439 my faith, I don't think people want me to proselytize. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.760 But as a Christian, we all are created in God's image. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.720 All of us are created. And that's a life with 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.840 that knee on the neck, and that life is now gone, 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:41.480 and it didn't have to happen. It's sad and words 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.400 cannot describe how I feel today. I'm so angry from 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.640 a lot of different angles. And I know we're gonna 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.760 say I pray for this guy's family. You know. The 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.959 sister actually came out and she said, literally, they murdered 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:01.440 my brother and the family saw it. But the girlfriend 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.480 came out and said, but the looters and the rioters 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.319 do not speak for him. He would not want this. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.840 It's brother, I think said that. You know he wants 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:14.120 the death penalty. I just it's so unfortunate that. Look, 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:18.160 I believe in peaceful protesting. Don't go looting stores, putting 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.360 stores on fire. We have enough trouble with the economy, 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.240 jobs lost, and it's it won't do any good. And 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.040 the people that are the leaders, you've got to be 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:32.640 leaders now. Protest all you want, you know, right, you 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:37.320 have a right and a righteous anger here, but that 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.520 part of it has to not happen for everybody's sake. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.520 We do have some other aspects of this that we're 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.920 going to get into. As it relates to George Floyd, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:50.720 and he was unemployed due to coronavirus. He moved to Minneapolis, 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.040 wanted a fresh start and his life. According to all 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.560 the accounts that I've read, and we'll find out soon, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.040 he was he was hoping for a new life and 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.200 he has a lot of lifelong friends and lost his 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.280 job at a bounce as a bouncer with the stay 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.720 at home order there and uh, you know this was 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:16.640 about passing a counterfeit twenty dollar bill. Um. These are 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.640 these are simple fundamentals you're gonna be in law enforcement. 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:26.360 The fundamental is easy. Once somebody's in custody, once they're 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.400 not resisting, that's it. It's over. It's at that is 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:35.840 the end of it. The amount of pressure on the neck, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.400 I knowing what I know, I am telling you it 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:46.880 is like it is the single dumbest, unnecessary thing I've 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:51.360 ever seen. It breaks my heart to see this twenty 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.120 five nowns at the top of the hour, eight hundred 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.520 and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.760 a part of the program. I'm also angry about a 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:03.920 lot of issues involving Corona. It's frustrating beyond words. Um 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.760 So this goes on. What was the total time? I've 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.160 seen it written up every way in sideways and no 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.240 definitive time to I see six minutes, I see up 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.720 to eight minutes. What was the total time, Linda, do 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.000 you know it was nine minutes? All right? It was 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:25.480 nine minutes with nine minutes. Nobody can survive that. That's 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.880 a death sentence. This is and this is hard to 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.560 listen to. And we played it a lot last night 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.240 and I again, the more I look at this, the 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.280 angrier I get. I didn't you know, I'm so wrapped 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.280 up in a lot of other coverage. I didn't see 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:47.840 it till late yesterday and I looked at it. I said, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.640 you gotta be kidding me, And then I kept looking 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.720 at it and looking at it. Here is George Floyd 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.320 if you have kids in the car, you may want 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.960 to lower the volume. Here's him scream I mean I 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:27.480 can't breathe here now, I'm just telling you as somebody, 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:35.560 that is a real He couldn't breathe. He wasn't resisting. 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:42.640 That is a death sentence right there. It is so frustrating. Um. 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.800 We we mentioned that what he had done after coronavirus, 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.560 he moved from Houston into Minneapolis. He wanted to get 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:51.760 a fresh start in his life. By all accounts, all 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:55.280 the people. You know, he'd lost his job when the 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.919 Minnesota governor issued a stay at home order and you 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.680 know it was Employeed grocery store called the police after 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.760 he allegedly tried to pass a counterfeit twenty dollars bill. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.119 I mean it must have been on the surface. I 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.919 don't recall ever, if you've ever given somebody a hundred, 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.359 if they usually take out this marker, and you know, 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.000 I mean, maybe it was just such a bad counterfeit. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.439 I don't know, I don't know it it's twenty dollars. 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.560 That's another thing. Where is the context in things here? 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.720 Then we got the other video which showed that even 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.119 when they were walking him before the choking incident happened here, 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.040 and the knee on the neck incident happened. He was 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.680 not resisting arrest in any way, shape, manner, or form. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.960 He wasn't. Missy is in West Virginia. Missy, you're on 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.960 the Sean Hannity Show. Son, Thanks for taking my call. 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:44.520 I wanted to make a couple of points, if you'll 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.720 let me. First off, I was a cop for twenty years. 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.080 Watching that video on your show last night, I had 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.199 to turn my back and listen to you because it 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.199 disturbed me. A couple of things that really bother me 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.600 is if this was over a counterfeit bill. The jurisdiction 0:18:57.640 --> 0:19:00.320 that I worked for, we couldn't arrest somebody for a 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.400 counterfeit bill. We would take the evidence, take their name, 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:07.080 and call the Feds. The FEDS handled counterfeit bills. We 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.000 didn't have the right to arrest somebody for that. That's 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.720 the first problem. Number two, I would think that if 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.520 you're passing phony bills that look, that's obviously a crime, 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.440 and in a way you're stealing from the merchant that 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:24.199 you're handing it to, and and it's fraud, etc. I 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:25.720 would think you would have the right to do that. 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.040 I don't even think that's an issue here. The police 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.000 were called if he if he broke the law. We 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.080 don't even know if that part is true. Yet again, 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.560 I want everybody presumed innocent. But I just I can't 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.359 get through I can't get past this tape, Missy, I 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.520 can't right. The second point that I wanted to make, 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.959 if you'd let me, is I would like people to 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.600 take a step back because this did not happen because 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.760 of race. That is a key component in it. That's 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.919 a hot spot for people. But when this goes to court, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.280 for twenty years of testifying in court, race has never 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.160 been brought up in any court testimony that I've ever 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.919 taken place in. I know that's hard for people to 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.199 handle because he is a black man. He did have 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.200 his throat stepped on by a white man. But please 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.159 take a second and look at step back from it 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.960 for a second. This did not happen because he's a 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.560 black man. This happened because of a poor choice by 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.680 one or maybe the three other officers that were standing there. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.479 We don't know, because again we don't know what happened 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.639 on the other side of the car. We don't know 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.119 why he wasn't immediately put in the car. That I 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.320 don't know. I don't want to pass judgment on that. 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.080 What I saw it disturbed me. He broke every law 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.600 and rule of training. You do not ever leave anyone 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.320 on their stomach because of positional asphyxia. You support somebody's 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.800 head even when they're on their side, because your head 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.159 weighs eight pounds and you could cut off your karate 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:50.280 just by leaning your head. I've supported many a prisoner 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.480 who we put on their side, who were under the 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.280 influence of drugs, or who were injured, or that we 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.480 had to wrestle. The first thing that we do after 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.320 they're in cuffs, everybody would get him on a side, 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.840 get him up. You don't leave anybody in that position. 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.359 And the last thing, you never put any force on 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.440 anybody's neck. That's disturbing. That man did not have to die. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.560 But please, people come back from a place of peace. 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.520 The facts need to come out. Please don't make this 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.320 black and white. Not all cops are bad. I was 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.679 not a bad cop. I was a good cop. You 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.800 sound like you sound like a well trained work professional. 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.080 And I pray for his family because they didn't deserve this. No, 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:32.439 they didn't this didn't have this, this was so this 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.480 didn't have to happen. That's a sad part. But you 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.520 people like you, Missy, obviously you are a seasoned pro 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.639 and you know every aspect of this and everything I 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:47.080 know about law enforcement, it's the same thing that you do. Anyway, 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.960 we appreciate your call. Thanks for all you do twenty 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:52.840 years on the job. We appreciate it. And you know, 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.879 as far as the racial component that in reporting in 0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:01.560 some of this, I don't know anybody that has come 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.439 out to defend this, not a single person, you know. 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:08.760 The President tweeted, I have asked, at my request, the 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:13.560 FBI and Department of Justice already well into an investigation 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:17.359 as to the very sad and tragic at the Minnesota 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.159 of George Floyd. I have asked for this investigation to 0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:23.760 be expedited, and greatly appreciate all the work done by 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.000 local law enforcement. My heart goes out to George's family 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:31.680 and friends, and justice will be served. Presidented that early also, 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:38.280 and anyway, back to our phones, Let's say we have 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:43.080 Brandon in Atlanta, WSB. Brandon, how are you my old 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:47.120 home down south? I was talking to Neil Borts recently. 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.520 He sends his regards from his sports bus. Anyway, what's 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.080 going on, So we'd love for you to come back. 0:22:55.119 --> 0:23:00.280 We could probably offer you a large pay. And by 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.040 the way, I'm not going to come and ruin the 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.920 state that and force or vote for people that supported 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.639 the policies that ruined this state. I mean they ruined it. 0:23:09.720 --> 0:23:12.200 But anyway, go ahead, sir. Well, I'm a real estate 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.159 appraiser for a living stuff. You ever do, decide to 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:15.600 come back here to let me know, I'll find he's 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:19.040 the best deal possible. But I've got three cops in 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:21.200 the family. One of them I sat when and taught 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.200 last night is the section chief of the US Marshall's 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.720 Office in the Georgia Division here. He's a quiet guy, 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:29.920 and he looked me dead mine and said, ninety five 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.199 percent of most people will show you that they're going 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.680 to run or they're going to fight at immediate confrontation. 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:39.600 He said, if they do not fight you, they probably 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.639 are not going to very small chance. He's I've been 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.320 on the job of twenty five years, he said, I've 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:47.280 been in Columbia, been in lots of countries, kicking indoors, 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:49.919 gang bangers. You name it Serving Warrens. For some of 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.399 the nastiest people. He said, they either go down or 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:55.120 they fight straight off the river. He said, this guy 0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.080 right here, if you'd just put him in a car, 0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.680 it wouldn't have been a problem. He showed no aggressiveness, 0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.480 He did not show that he wanted to fight. He said, 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.800 there should have it. If they were so scared of him, 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:06.879 they should have shackled his legs and put him in 0:24:06.920 --> 0:24:09.840 the backseat of the car. What they did makes no 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:13.280 sense to anybody. I mean, this guy was a tactical 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:16.639 training instructor with the Marshall's Office, and he said, his 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:19.960 mind's blown. He said, I don't understand what I saw 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.240 and what I saw him doing. Andina was going to 0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:25.880 join us later, and Bernie Kerrick was on the TV 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.479 show Laws. I'll saying the same thing. Bertie was the 0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.240
